A man and woman have been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault after a British NHS nurse was subject to a vile racist tirade during a shocking attack in a park in West Yorkshire.
A couple, believed to be in their 60s, who were walking their dog demanded to know if the nurse, an NHS worker of 12 years, 'came here on a rubber boat' and hurled water and grabbed her hair during the alleged assault at Manor Heath Park in Halifax on Thursday.
Apple Moorhouse, from Huddersfield, was allegedly racially abused alongside her parents and six and 11-year-old daughters, after she asked the couple to control their dog which made her youngest daughter feel 'unsafe and scared'.
The nurse, who has lived in Britain for 15 years ended up in A&E for a pulled rib and has bruising on her hands after being grabbed by the hair and pushed to the floor by the woman, who also claimed to be a nurse.
She told the Daily Mail she now fears returning to the park with her children.
